    THANK YOU. I'm studying for a neuroanatomy final, the Powerpoints for which are a confusing-ass mess, and now I actually understand how the stretch reflex works. Very clear and descriptive.

    Etymology late Middle English: from French, from Latin , diminutive of ‘mouse’ (some muscles being thought to be mouse-like in form). early 16th century (as a noun denoting reflection): from Latin ‘a bending back’, from ‘bend back’ (see reflect).mid 19th century: from Latin ‘bringing towards’, from the verb , from ‘to’ + ‘bring’.mid 19th century: from Latin ‘carrying out’, from the verb , from ‘out’ + ‘carry’. late Middle English: shortening of Old French , or from Latin ‘thorn, prickle, backbone’.

    Can you describe how foot drop occurs with injury at the lower back?

  • @sab9351

    @sab9351

    5 жыл бұрын

    Ackram Jin :an injury at the lower back would be located at the L4-L5 vertebrae most likely, these vertebrae/nerves are connected to the sacral plexus which controls most of the motor and sensory functions in the leg. Because of this an injury to the nerve can effect the ability to flex the foot, resulting in foot drop. Other symptoms of this injury may include loss of vibratory sensation and two point discrimination, and loss of ability to flex at the knee.

    I have been getting jerks from my left leg for a few years, and I have not been to a doctor for this at all. Can anyone please let me know what it is because my full leg will go away from me as well at the same time, and force my self back up right then start to walk with pain and my leg even though I know that my leg is swelling up at the same time. I have had this for years and years.

    10 years ago? And know you feel symptoms, unlikely but could be. But it is usually a sign from your body and should get it checked out as it can mean many things. Not a doctor though so idk 🤷‍♂️

    From my understanding , when it's stretched or reflexed then you hit with a rubber hammer on knee cap tendon...It ll flex and contract.....Not stretched...You said stretched in the video...

    the stimulus (like the hammer) stretches the muscle. the sensory fibers of the muscle spindle are the afferent part of the reflex and pick up on this stretch. the motor neuron corrects for that stretch with contraction. tldr: stretch
